Five minutes later, Matt Verboon found the back of the net. Alex Young deked out a Saints’ defender and skated down the ice before playing a short pass to Verboon for a shot he tapped into the goal.
St. Lawrence got one back with six minutes remaining in the game when Jordan Steinmetz slipped a shot into the goal.
The Raiders picked up back-to-back penalty kills in the first, which included a 37-second period of five-on-three after Ross Mitton and Alex Young each got sent to the box.
